Chapter 14

DEMI'S POV:

I was really bored, and I had left Caitlin's place. So I decided to go for a walk.

As I was walking, I saw to figures move out of the corner of my eye. I looked over to see Blaire embracing Chaz. And they weren't parting or anything. I gasped.

I pulled out my phone and texted Caitlin. I told her what I saw. Almost instantly, she texted back her reply:

OMG, are you serious? Now we have something to tell Justin! Cause our plan with the text didn't work. Chaz found out and told Blaire about it. And he told Justin.

My face fell. But I got excited again because we had something even better.

JUSTIN'S POV:

*Hours later*

I cant believe that Caitlin and Demi would stoop that low. I thought.

What did I ever do to them?

I have to get home. I don't want anything else happening while I'm gone.

Just then my phone started to buzz. I looked at the screen. A message from Caitlin. I opened it.

Justin, we're really sorry for what we did…but this time, we're being for real. Blaire is cheating on you with Chaz.

I read that message over and over again. I couldn't get that through my head. That can't possibly be. Blaire would never do that to me…would she?

I called Caitlin. Seconds later she answered.

"Hello? Justin?" she said.

"What makes you think Blaire is cheating on me?" I asked her.

"Demi was taking a walk and she saw Blaire embracing Chaz. And they weren't letting go. They just stood there like that."

I felt my heart pang with hurt.

Why would Chaz do that? I wondered.

"I don't believe that Caitlin." I said, shaking my head.

"We'll, I'm not lying."

I just hung up on her. I was…heartbroken.

My best friend and my girlfriend had just betrayed me.

I dialed Blaire's number.

Last time it wasn't me, but this time I mean it, we're done. I thought sadly to myself as I waited for her to answer.

When she answered, I just spoke.

"Blaire, how could you do this to me? How could you cheat on me with Chaz? What have I ever done to you? I thought we had something special Blaire. But I guess I was wrong. We're done."

I hung up the phone. Tears brimmed my eyes. But I didn't have time for crying. I had things to do.

BLAIRE'S POV:

I cant believe Justin actually broke up with me. I thought we had something too. But I didn't cheat on him! What was he talking about?

Then my phone started ringing. Chaz was calling. I answered.

"Hello?" I said.

"Blaire! Did Justin call you? He just yelled at me for going behind his back with you! What does he mean?" he shouted.

"I don't know. But…he just broke up with me. For real this time." I choked out. I was crying now.

"Hold on, I'll be there in like, five minutes. I think I know who's behind this."

I hung up and keeled over. I was in the kitchen, but I couldn't get up to go to my room or anything. I was truly heartbroken.

About five minutes later, just as Chaz predicted, my doorbell rang.

I had calmed down a bit, so I got up and opened the door. Chaz walked straight in.

"I cant believe them! I bet one of them saw us hugging or something, and told him. Yep, that's what it was. Cause we haven't been seen in public together…"

I sniffled. He looked at me and stopped talking.

"Aww, Blaire…" he walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me. I shoved my face into his chest and cried. I cried so hard that I became lightheaded and almost passed out. Chaz carried me to the couch and set me on it.

I laid my head on his lap and he stroked my hair until I calmed down.

When I stopped crying, I sat up and placed my head on his shoulder. I had a huge headache.

"Are you alright?" he asked me.

"Yes."

"Do you think we should call Justin and try to explain?" he asked.

I shook my head. "You can. He won't listen to me." I said.

"No, he won't listen to me. But he'd listen to you." he said.

I looked at him. "What makes you think that? He probably hates me right now."

"I bet he misses you, and regrets what he did. He doesn't even know the whole story." he said.

I nodded and took out my phone. I dialed his number.

It rang for a long time. I was about to hang up when he answered.

I choked up.

"Hello?" he said, flatly.

"H-hello?" I said.

"What do you want Blaire?" he asked me.

I thought about what I was going to say.

"I…I wasn't cheating on you with Chaz." I said, softly.

"Then what were you doing?" he asked, harshly.

Chaz took the phone. "She wasn't cheating on you Justin. After she hung up the phone with you yesterday, she started to cry because she missed you. So I hugged her. That's it. Nothing else." he said.

Justin didn't say anything for a while. But Chaz seemed to know that he hadn't hung up.

Then he spoke. "Are you sure that's it?" I heard him say.

"Yes. I'm positive." Chaz responded.

"Okay, let me speak to Blaire." he said.

I took the phone. "Hello?" I said.

"Hey, Blaire, I'm sorry. I don't know what's happening. This is just crazy…I guess I'm just missing you so much…" he stopped talking. I could hear his voice cracking.

"Justin, if you wanna stay broken up then…that's fine…well, it's not fine…it's just…if that's what you want, then just tell me." I said, closing my eyes.

"Blaire, you know that's not what I want." he said.

"Then what do you want?" I asked him.

"I want us to be together. I just wanna be able to trust you…" I cut him off.

"What? You don't trust me? Justin, you're the one who isn't here, okay? I'm the one who needs to be able to trust you." I said, angrily.

He sighed.

"Justin, I think we should just take a break until you get back." I said.

I heard him gasp. "What? No, Blaire, please! Don't do that! I cant handle it…please." he said.

I closed my eyes. "Justin, I think that's the best thing for us to do. I didn't say we shouldn't be together until you come back, I said take a break. There's a difference." I said.

He was crying now. "No, no, no, no, no, no, please! Don't…please." was all he could manage to say.

I looked at Chaz. He shrugged his shoulders. I sighed.

"Fine Justin. No break, okay?" I said.

He had calmed down. "Thank you. I promise everything will be better when I come back. If I finish work early, then I might be able to come back one day sooner. I love you Blaire."

My eyes widened. Chaz whipped his head toward me and gasped.

I looked at Chaz. I didn't know what to say. He nodded his head furiously.

So I replied: "I love you too Justin." and it felt so right. I smiled.

He laughed. "Can I speak to Chaz please?" he asked.

I gave Chaz the phone. I heard Justin apologize to Chaz about blowing up at him earlier. Then he hung up the phone and looked at me, a smile on his face.

"Looks likes someone's got a new lover." he said.

I smiled wide. "Yeah, I guess so." I said.
